We all know that Katrina Kaif has a jam-packed schedule! It is quite evident from her constant social media posts as the actress tries to give sneak peek into her routine life. While earlier it was all about Thugs Of Hindostan, now she has dived into Aanand L. Rai’s Zero. Besides this, she also has a performance tour in the pipeline. But expect the actress to take out some quality time for some social work and she is more than happy to do so! The proof for it is the fact that Katrina Kaif is planning a visit to the Mountain View School in Tamil Nadu.

This visit is not for shooting or research purposes but a genuine step for a social cause. Katrina Kaif, who is currently busy with Zero, has taken a break from her schedule for this. The actress is juggling between the shoot and dance rehearsals for her Dabangg Tour in Pune. Amidst all this, Katrina will take off to Tamil Nadu to support this Relief Project India initiative.

As a part of the initiative, Katrina Kaif, who is working around the clock, will take some time off to visit the students of Mountain View School. Located in the Dindigul region of Tamil Nadu, this school was opened in 2015 as part of Relief Project India. The aim is to provide English-medium education to underprivileged students.

In fact, Katrina’s mother Suzanne Turquotte has long been associated with the school. Suzanne has been teaching there for quite some time now. And this time around, Katrina will take a day off to join her mother. She has even planned a day full of activities with the students there.

A source close to the actress commented on it saying, “Katrina has a choc-o-bloc schedule. But despite it, she will take a day off to fly to Tamil Nadu and meet the students of Mountain View School.”

Irrfan Khan took to social media to finally reveal the nature of his rare disease last week. Once and for all, it has shut all speculations as the talented actor revealed that he has NeuroEndocrine Tumour and he has flown out of India to get it treated. His heartbreaking statement read, “The unexpected makes us grow, which is what the past few days have been about. Learning that I have been diagnosed with NeuroEndocrine Tumour as of now has admittedly been difficult, but the love and strength of those around me and that I found within me has brought me to a place of hope. The journey of this is taking me out of the country, and I request everyone to continue sending their wishes. As for the rumours that were floated NEURO is not always about the brain and googling is the easiest way to do research 😉 To those who waited for my words, I hope to be back with more stories to tell.”

While we wait for his recovery, his filmmaker friend Vishal Bhardwaj took to Facebook to reveal his plans for the upcoming movie starring Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles.

He said, “Irrfan is a warrior and we know he will conquer this battle. Therefore Deepika (Padukone), Prernaa Arora (KriArj) and I have decided to reschedule our film and start with renewed energy and celebration when our warrior returns as a winner.” Now, looks like the movie will be made finally after Khan recuperates from his disease. We will wait for this bated breath. After all, he is one of the most gifted actors we have in the industry today and there is NO one who can fill in his shoes. We are glad that he is NOT replaced.

Vishal’s movie is based on a Mumbai Mafia Queen who went by the name Sapna Didi. Full of vengeance, she scaled great heights to defeat Dawood Ibrahim who was responsible for killing her husband.

Not the US, as reported by speculative sections of the media. It is London that Irrfan Khan has proceeded to for the treatment of his health condition. Apparently, an Indian doctor in London who has researched extensively on the neuroendocrine tumour will be looking into Irrfan’s complete treatment.

Says a friend of the actor, “This doctor has closely examined Irrfan’s case and has reassured Irrfan and his family that there is no immediately danger to his life, and that his condition is completely curable. Irrfan and his wife have agreed to let this Indian doctor take charge of Irrfan’s treatment.”

There were earlier plans of going for treatment to the US. But now with a more comprehensive and dependable line of recuperation obtainable in London, Irrfan will be in London for the next few months.

We hope he returns fully cured and all set for the second innings of his remarkable career.

“I’ve had so many affairs”- Kangana Ranaut gets candid about her relationships

Kangana Ranaut, one of Hindi cinema’s upfront actors, has time and again spoken about her relationships in public. From Adhyayan Suman to Aditya Pancholi to Hrithik Roshan, all her alleged relationships have been the talk of the nation. Ever since her public spat with her Krrish 3 co-star Hrithik Roshan, the actress has openly admitted being in the relationship while the actor has denied all the allegations.

Once again, Kangana Ranaut spoke about her alleged relationship with actor Hrithik Roshan. She at the guest at News 18’s Rising India Summit closing night in New Delhi where she opened about everything from being in psycho love to having many affairs to sex to being dumped all the time. “I’ve had so many affairs. And after every breakup, I feel like this is the end of my life. This has happened whether I’m 16 or 31. For me, love is not just physical, it’s spiritual and platonic. It’s an amazing experience you feel in every cell of your body, as if it’s is awakened, even if the person is not around. My boyfriends have asked me ‘how do you know everything about my life. It’s black magic. It’s telepathic.’ It’s how I love. And if my love is psycho, then it’s fine. I’ll find someone else. I am fine being called a witch,” said the actress.

Interestingly, Kangana Ranaut even admitted that she has never had the privilege to dump any of the guys she has previously dated. “I’ve never gotten the chance or had the privilege to dump anyone. I was always the one who got dumped. If I told you some of the names, you’d be shocked that even this loser has dumped me. They come back but then I can’t take them back because by then I’ve moved on to another loser,” she revealed.

Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut is shooting for Manikarnika- The Queen of Jhansi will tell the story about the glorious life of warrior queen Rani Lakshmibai. Directed by Krish, the film also stars Ankita Lokhande and is slated for April 2018 release as of now.

Varun Dhawan and Katrina Kaif to star in the BIGGEST dance film yet, produced by T-Series (more details inside)

Varun Dhawan has truly come a long way since his debut in the film industry. He is currently riding high on the rave reviews garnered for his October trailer released recently and is busy shooting for Sui Dhaaga with Anushka Sharma in Chanderi. While the actor has already got his hands full with amazing films in his kitty, here’s adding one more feather in his cap! So, we reported how T-Series and Remo D’souza have teamed up to make a BIGGEST dance film ever made. Now, there is full disclosure on the cast of this magnum opus.

According to the official handle of the production house, Varun Dhawan and Katrina Kaif have been finalised for the role and this prospect of these two pairing together is making us excited for the film, already. T-Series tweeted, “Bhushan Kumar’s @TSeries & @remodsouza team up for India’s biggest dance film starring @Varun_dvn and #KatrinaKaif. The film also stars @PDdancing @TheRaghav_Juyal , @did_dharmesh and @punitjpathak . The film is slated to release on Nov 8, 2019.”

We have seen Kat setting dance floor on fire too many times and how great it would be to see her match her steps with Varun who is a FABULOUS dancer himself? We have already seen his moves in ABCD 2 helmed by Remo and we are in for this treat again. Varun-Remo have proven to be a DHAMAKEDAAR combo and now, Katrina will be a cherry on the top. Aren’t you excited too? We sure are.

Says Bhushan Kumar, “Dance and music go together. As a brand synonymous with music, it seemed natural to produce India’s biggest dance film. Having a committed director like Remo who is passionate about and master of several dance forms is a blessing.”

Remo D’Souza says, “Isn’t it just appropriate that a film about music and dance is produced by the man heading the biggest music company in Bollywood? And I get to direct — Varun, one of the best dancers today, and Katrina, who has shown us she can shake a mean leg.”

Bhushan Kumar adds, “Varun is a natural-born entertainer. The audience loves his antics on screen, especially his dance moves. Katrina has talent and the ability to work hard — she also has a unique mesmerising quality.” Says Varun, “Working with Remo again for India’s biggest dance film is huge. I performed once in New York with Katrina and it was electric. She’s gonna bring her A game so I need to get back into shape. Bhushan is not only a strong producer who has over a period of time built a great marketing and distribution machinery, he also contributes a lot creatively specially in music department.”

Katrina says, “I am super excited to be joining Remo’s vision to make India’s ultimate dance film. Varun’s passion is so wonderful; he works tirelessly to create magic. And, Bhushan Kumar with his understanding of market dynamics, as a producer will ensure it is the most talked-about film of 2019. I can’t wait to start this journey.”

BREAKING: Shahid Kapoor – Imtiaz Ali film to feature a new face as the leading lady

The last time Shahid Kapoor and Imtiaz Ali came together, it was laughter riot filled with romance and tears of joy! We are talking about Jab We Met. The film gave us the most memorable character with Geet played by Kareena Kapoor Khan. So when Shahid and Imtiaz announced their reunion, may be somewhere we expected that there would be a Kareena too. Alas! For all those who expected to see the Jab We Met pair yet again, here is a sad news. The duo has decided to opt for a new face as the leading lady.

Yes, recent rumours suggest that the Shahid Kapoor starrer will have a completely new face. However, the details of the same are being kept under wraps. In fact, not much has been spoken about this film either. Shahid spoke about the film last year during the Zee Cine Awards wherein he confirmed about working with Imtiaz.

Not divulging too many details, he had then said to the media that this subject is very different from their previous collaboration [Jab We Met]. He also added that he will be starting work on it post Batti Gul Meter Chalu.

Speaking on the untitled film, it is expected to be a rom-com that will kick off next month. It is said to be shot extensively in Mumbai and abroad.

REVEALED: The trailer of Alia Bhatt starrer Raazi will be attached with this Varun Dhawan film

Going the non-commercial way yet again, Alia Bhatt grabbed attention when she signed Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi. Based on the novel ‘Calling Sehmat’, the film will feature her as a Kashmiri spy. With glimpses from the sets of the film doing the rounds on the internet, the film garnered lots of curiousity. Now the makers are all set to bring its trailer to the big screen. And yet again we will see Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan coming together with this!

Yes, the trailer of Raazi will be attached to the Varun Dhawan starrer October that releases on April 13. Interestingly, this Shoojit Sircar directorial too features Varun in an unconventional role. This time around, the ‘students of the year’ are experimenting with fresh pairings. While Varun Dhawan is paired with model-turned-actress Banita Sandhu, Alia Bhatt is paired alongside Vicky Kaushal.

October is called an unconventional love story where Varun supports and stands by his ladylove when she falls extremely ill. On the other hand, Raazi features a strong protagonist in Alia who decides to help India during the times of War. It is the journey of a spy who marries a Pakistani officer and sneaks in their secrets to the Indian government.

With two different genres coming together, we must say it will be an interesting watch to see the Dulhania pair in such diverse roles on the big screen. So all the Alia and Varun fans can now rejoice since they will get to their favourite Jodi coming together yet again next month!

Raazi, also starring Alia’s real life mother Soni Razdan, will release on May 11.

BREAKING: Kriti Sanon signed for Housefull 4; opts out of Mohit Suri’s film

By now we all know that Akshay Kumar will soon start shooting for the fourth instalment in the Housefull franchise. Over the past couple of weeks, there have been numerous revelations about the cast of the film. Well, after the announcement of Bobby Deol joining the cast, we now hear that Kriti Sanon is all set to join the Housefull 4 team as well.

As per reports, Kriti Sanon who was last seen in Bareilly Ki Barfi that hit screens in 2017 will join Jacqueline Fernandez, Kiara Advani, Parineeti Chopra, Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan and Bobby Deol. If that wasn’t all, it is also being said that Kriti will feature opposite Akshay Kumar in the film. However, details of her character are being kept under wraps.

On the other hand, Kriti Sanon, who had earlier been roped in to feature in Mohit Suri’s next venture after Half Girlfriend, has apparently opted out of the project. While the yet untitled film that was helmed by Suri was said to be a romantic thriller with Kriti and Aditya Roy Kapur in the lead, the actress has walked out of the same to accommodate her dates for Housefull 4.

Interestingly, while Kriti’s exit from Suri’s venture will certainly send the filmmaker back on the hunt for a new leading lady, we for one can’t wait for the fourth instalment of the multi-starrer franchise Housefull.

James Bond plays it so cool; he must think we are nation of fools. Pierce Brosnan claims he had no idea about the deleterious side effects of gutka and paan masala when he endorsed one of those products. Really? It’s like having dinner with Osama bin Laden and saying you never knew he had a connection with the destruction of the World Trade Centre. It’s time celebrities made comprehensive inquiries before endorsing a product. When destiny bestows such abnormal levels of stardom on you, you need to be more careful of what you do with it.

Bollywood actors like Akshay Kumar, Govinda, Manoj Bajpayee and Rajneesh Duggal are seen endorsing pan masala and gutka in ads screened on various digital and non-digital outlets. Sources from the Information & Broadcasting Ministry say the Ministry intends to clamp down very heavily on celebrities endorsing alcohol and nicotine products.

“Censor certification of carcinogenic products like cigarettes, alcohol and paan masala is forbidden by law. Endorsing such products will also be banned soon,” says an I & B source.
